The benefits and advantages of kitchen countertops in Toronto range from functional to aesthetic and both provide resale value. Many homeowners choose to take advantage of the many options for kitchen countertops to create a nicer looking kitchen, increase the value of their home or maintain a cleaner food-preparation area within their kitchen. Aside from looking beautiful, a kitchen counter has to fit not only your budget but your lifestyle as well. They can be crafted from a variety of different materials, some of which involve somewhat more intensive maintenance and labour, while others just require a wipe down to remove any debris from food preparation and spills from a household member. A kitchen counter can bring together the design of a room and pump life into it. At Clearview Kitchen we are proud to offer this illustrious service and help to revamp your kitchen’s look.

Quartz Countertops

These countertops fall into the manmade stone category(alongside a few more stone countertops) as they consist of crushed quartz minerals, and are then molded and sealed into a resin of unsaturated cheap materials (polyester, pigments, and additives.). Quartz countertops are one of the most popular countertop materials thanks to their durability, strength, and stain-resistant surface with a non-porous effect. The only downside in choosing quartz countertops is that they can become discolored over time.

Granite Countertops

This material of countertop is strong and durable with endless colors (including black or white granite countertops) and patterns of veins, all pre-sealed for stain protection to choose from to take the look and functionality of your kitchen to the next level.

Marble Countertops

Homeowners that opt for a marble countertop material enjoy the finer things in life or at least want to revamp their kitchen. These countertops are beautiful, elegant, and one of the more popular choices for homeowners and renovators alike, but have an unfortunate setback given their non-porous texture. Something like an acidic liquid like lemon juice or brown vinegar can damage marble, leaving a permanent mark.

Porcelain Countertops

Porcelain is a pottery-like material that can be opaque or slightly translucent. They are typically coated with a pigmented glaze to give them the aesthetic appeal homeowners love. The process of manufacturing the material, according to Max Space Stone, is made from heating a mix of powdered china stone and white china clay, also known as kaolin, at about 1450°C. The high temperature causes the china stone to vitrify into a dense, highly durable material, while the object retains its shape thanks to the kaolin. Impurities such as silica, mineral oxides, and feldspars exist in the clay, but rather than detracting from the porcelain’s quality, they add to its strength and color.”

Ultimately when you are choosing a countertop material for your kitchen you are going to want to consider your budget (what is the best countertop for your money?), design, and professional installation.
